okonvick Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hi, gotta install IONetworkingFamily.kext, but dont know how. when i copy it into /System/Library/Extensions and reboot, i get an error saying that the extension wasnt installed properly. I red something like i have to set some permissions using chmod and chown, but i dont know how to set them (i know how to use the commands, but dont know for ex. to what do i have to chmod the kext in order to work). Could anyone help me? Please, its quite urgent. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51496-how-to-install-kext/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 In terminal, simply type in diskutil repairPermissions / then reboot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51496-how-to-install-kext/#findComment-368374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 In terminal, simply type in diskutil repairPermissions / then reboot. Nice try, but unfortunately it often doesn't get the job done. for a catch-all solution to chmod & chown'ing new kexts, just try: sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions && sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51496-how-to-install-kext/#findComment-368390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
